“Tucker Carlson is preparing to unleash allies to attack Fox News in an effort to bully the network into letting him work for — or start — a right-wing rival,” Axios reports.
Said Bryan Freedman, the high-powered Hollywood lawyer Carlson retained for the contract dispute: “The idea that anyone is going to silence Tucker and prevent him from speaking to his audience is beyond preposterous.”
“Axios has learned Carlson is busy plotting a media empire of his own. But he needs Fox to let him out of his contract, which expires in January 2025 — after the presidential election. We’re told Carlson has been contacted by outlets — including the right-wing Rumble and Newsmax — that offered to pay him more than his Fox contract.”
